One of the most active volcanoes in the world erupts

There has been a volcanic eruption on the island of Stromboli in Italy. It's one of the most active volcanoes in the world and has had a series of eruptions since the 1930's. One man, who's believed to be a tourist, was killed. Dozens of other visitors to the area have now been evacuated. Newsday's Bola Mosuro spoke to Marco Alessi, a hotel manager on the island. He went to help people in the village of Ginostra - on the south side of the island - which is the nearest populated area close to the eruption.
